Strong Minds. Big Feelings. Strong Connections.

Special Olympics New Zealand invites you to join our free inclusive webinar this Mental Health Awareness Week, for people with intellectual disabilities, whānau and caregivers, coaches, volunteers, educators and others providing support.

🧠 Strong Minds: Big Feelings. Strong Connections.

📅 Wednesday 14 October | 6.30pm | Online Educational Psychologist Cathy Robson will use Special Olympics Strong Minds to explore practical ways to recognise and navigate big feelings — in ourselves and others.

🔹 Recognise — big feelings in ourselves and others.

🔹 Understand — what happens in our brain and body.

🔹 Respond — practical Strong Minds tools.

🔹 Connect — supporting ourselves and others, connection and belonging.

Cathy introduced Strong Minds in New Zealand at the 2025 National Summer Games as part of our Healthy Athletes Programme.
